Our Project
Motorway pile-ups cost lives and cause huge financial strain.
The Multi-Car Collision Avoidance Project (MuCCA) is a £4.6m, 30-month project funded by the Centre for Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CCAV) via Innovate UK, which will develop a next-generation driver aid that aims to avoid multi-car collisions on motorways. If an accident cannot be avoided, the MuCCA system will attempt to minimise its consequences (both injuries and damage).
This project will implement, test and refine solutions to many of the technical challenges that face fully autonomous cars.
These challenges include sensor systems, machine learning, vehicle-to-vehicle communications and vehicle control systems.
